If you don't believe in Samsung firmware releases to be good enough then why use any of them to begin with considering you have AOSP choices. Every update so far on SGS 2 has been for the better.

I understand everything takes time and why fix something that isn't broken right? It is like anything these days you either sit around and wait for something better to come along so in other words wait forever and don't make any changes ever or you can utilise every latest resource to improve things even if it is just 1 thing. By the time you finish waiting a new phone might be out. It's not like you Devs have anything better to do ;) JOKING!

Personally I think an app / kitchen for customisation over the look and feel of a ROM is the main thing that should be updated rather than mild firmware changes but in the long run the only thing you can lose is time and effort.

Due to the nature of a user of a smart phone the only thing more important than reliability is making alterations right? We live in an era where everything is 1 click and 1 touch and anything else seems boring

I would never have left VR if it wasn't for the Kitchen in the current ROM I am using. I still go back to VR sometimes because I miss using it and I feel weird using the VR boot animation on another ROM :$ (I really love that animation)

Please don't look at this as an insult or me trying to whine. I respect all of your team and I wish you all the best.

On that same note will you guys create such a kitchen in the future?

Check in the theme section for jkay mod get the ki3 version does all you want and more :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] XDA mark:
I actually downloaded that v12 Jkay mod for Ki3 and flashed it and it wouldnt boot anymore. I have had a 'f-ed up device' twice in the past days and am paranoid an afraid.

If you can show me exactly what to do i will. I just hoped a VRTweaks version would be made :'>
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mccune:
You should do a Nandroid backup before you flash anything.

No need to get paranoid ;)

We have an online kitchen for things, but I never enabled it for this device yet... Makes you a zip you flash after your rom...

Regarding versions, take KG5 and KG6 as examples. They were identical other than adding a language or 2...

I stick with a working core and update when there's a reason... This is likely why people get longer battery life, as they are letting it settle in for months on end :)

I don't like writing Android apps though so a kitchen would be totally web based. But nothing to stop it being in a phone friendly style... :)

What kind of things do you look for in kitchen? Right now it focuses on pulling junk apps out, and adding your own. But ultimately with enough development time (which I don't have) it could let you pick your choice of VRTweaks and apply them...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I don't currently put themes and other large patches in there due to complexity of it.

When I finally update tweaks to use zip files (remember I made tweaks back before you even had recovery or other custom ROMs), it will be possible. And likely will allow the trustee contributors to directly offer them there, via a web interface for uploads...

All depends on time, as I don't have nearly enough to do all these things... I need an intern to help me do all this stuff :p

Can u guys do anything with the new Chinese Android 2.3.6 / ZCKJ1

Apparently just released....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1317372
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
2.3.6 wasn't a huge change from 5 iirc... I can't remember the specifics though...

The issue with Chinese ones is they have a history of issues on eu handsets. As Intratech put it with the ZSKF6 rom (I thank), this ROM isn't compatible with our democratic phones... :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] urmybaby:
Hi Pulser.. Can we upgrade SG2 to Android 4.0? haha
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Auridran:
Yeah it's possible to do this right now. It's just a conspiracy that all the major ROM makers haven't done it yet. Shame on you pulser, and all other ROM chefs for giving in to the man!

I'm throwing my useless-without-4.0 phone in the garbage in protest!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] havocnl:
omg i lolled :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] uppon2:
I admit that some firmwares are just Locale changes and some other very minor changes but I believe lately since Ki3 Every change has been dramatic especially over Snappiness and Battery performance. I do however believe that CF Root is a major play in that too but Samsung are definitely going in the right direction for once :D

In relation to what I like in a kitchen I guess comes down to themes and apk files. I rip anything I don't like out of a ROM and put stuff in I like prior to flashing but lots of users might not be that confident or simply don't know how to do that. There is always bunches of new stuff coming out that would be beneficial to add to a kitchen but theming is the major part for most users.

Some people flash a complete ROM just because of it's theme. I think that's extreme but that's just the way it is. Ultimately I guess you could do a survey and see what people want? Nothing was as hot as VR 3 months ago besides LR which I never liked. It would be cool to try this online kitchen out at some stage if you ever get around to making our device active :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Exactly. It's being kept from you, just because we can :p

Ok I lied, it is the mali gpu that's to blame

Does anyone know why i cant enable the predictive text for this rom. Tried flashing it a few times and always the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
It doesn't come with a csc packaged so you just need to find the relevant UK csc and flash it. Have a look on Intratech's thread. I on the other hand use SwiftKey X and it works fine without flashing a csc.

Anyway I could use the CM7 or MIUI keyboard with VillainROM? Does someone have a download link for their keyboard apks?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] leventbb:
I have seen others having this problem, but no solution?

I cannot increase or decrease in-call volume while screen is off. Only tweak I have is "no-vibrate icon" on top of a fresh VR3.0 install

This is a great rom but this problem is very annoying. Please help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I believe that is by design... Otherwise you could easily bump the buttons by mistake while on a call (screen off due to proximity sensor)

Any other thoughts?

Hi,

Enjoying VillainROM 3.0, so thanks to the developers.

I’m having issues with Wi-Fi disconnecting continuously. I have re-installed the CF-Root file numerous times without any luck which was suggested in the F&Q.

These were the details of the phone before I loaded VillainROM:

Version: 2.3.3

BaseBand: I9100XXKE7

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555

Build: GingerBread.XWKF3

These are the details after loading VillainROM:

Version: 2.3.5

BaseBand: I9100XXKE7

Kernel: 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.1.3+ninpo@titan #26

Build: VillainROM 3.0

Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Update your radio :) there are KI and KJ radios now
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jdearauj:
Thanks for the advise, i will give it a try. I always assumed the radio was for the service provider(T-Mobile UK) 2G/3G signals and not for Wi-Fi.

Please could you provide a link to the radio files? Just want to make sure i'm using the correct one. Thanks

Hi guys,

I'm still having the problem where the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot defaults to SSID AndroidAP and a password that I don't know, and no matter how many times I change the settings it always resets to those values. Is there a fix for this? What it means is I can't set the SSID or change the password, and since I don't know the default password I pretty much can't use the Wi-Fi hotspot at all.

I've done a search over this whole thread and I saw a few posts with the same issue but I'm not sure if it was addressed or not.

I'm on VR 3.0 using KI1, Ninphetamine 2.0.5.

Try this, user "clefster" did some research and got it working for him, I have not tested this myself though
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] frankiee:
First of all many thanks for this great ROM. Have been on Villainrom since my early days in the HTC Hero.

I've been testing speedmod kernel for the past couple of days and must say i get much better battery life with it. So if you feel battery is an issue on your s2 you might want to give it a try. I'm on K2-5...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] greeneyedboy:
Thank you!

Darn, I thought 2.3 was the rom that gave me the best experience EVER with an Android device.....I was wrong...

This is an incredibly fast, low battery and very stable rom.

Thank you very much for your hard work!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Deviser:
I've also noticed that and it is annoying...all the other phones in the world allow you to change the volume on the go.... Right Now, you need to look to the screen, to see if it is on, and while you do this, you can't hear the other person speaking... Also, I'm sure it wasn't like this before.

Dunno if this was mentioned pulser but the Samsung keyboard's alternative language of 한글 (Korean) does not work. I can select it as a secondary keyboard language and it displays correctly but input still appears as english. No biggie as I can use google IME keyboard but then you can't really call it perfect :P

See, I didn't even notice that! I figured that something odd was going on when I was repeatedly trying to adjust the in-call volume, but thought it was just a random bug. That's ridiculous...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] desean:
I can confirm I don't have this problem (i.e. I can change volume using the side volume buttons when the screen is off). I do have the Disable incrementing ring tweak installed (without the noise suppression tweak combined) via VRTweaks.

Maybe you need to switch it to Korean language in the settings?

Just did a quick test, only able to input korean by handwriting using the samsung keypad.

You can use Swype for Korean too.

Hmmmm. Think I may have found a bug with the clock. I noticed that the clock in the notification bar was stuck at 12:59 and that the clock on beautiful widgets was showing the correct time (1:22am). I thought that it must have gotten stuck due to the clocks rolling back today. As such rebooted my phone and it showed the correct time again (1:24am). However it appears to be stuck.

Not sure if this issue is with VR3 or with Samsung. Anyone else getting this?

If not you should backup before flashing mods or maybe someone here can post the files from the original VR 3.0 so that you can replace them, or maybe just flash the VR Zip again...

Mine stuck at 00:59, as did my SGT 10.1, so I don't think it's a VR issue. I am however finding that the 'use network time values' in Settings isn't doing its job properly (I tried setting an incorrect time manually then switching on this setting and it didn't correct it as it usually does), although I accept this could be an issue with the network.

I really need some help. It appears that no matter what I do, this is about the max battery I can realistically achieve on a regular basis.

Country: Hong Kong (HSPA H+/3G always active)

Dormancy: Enable/Disable (no difference)

Display: auto with near black wallpaper

ROM: Villain 3.0

Modem: KI1/KH3/KI4 (current)

Kernel:ninpo 2.0.5/siyah 2.1rc3 with safe UV using ondemand/lulzactive (current) governor

This ROM has been installed using manual wipe, format dalvik, data, system manually. The only thing I restore is Titanium (Apps+System data) <--- this is the only element left but I don't see how app data can have such a profound effect on batt life.

I have never been able to pass 2h display time which I understand to be the biggest battery drain. Neither do I have any wake lock problems.

Any help appreciated! Thanks all!

Hmmm... Google maps has a high number of wakelocks, but not for long time periods...

This is definitely short battery... Could I suggest you try Ninphetamine kernel 2.0.5. Ignore the fact Android os is higher... Just look and see if you get better life after a day or two... Failing that, try calibrating the battery again. There's lots of guides for that on the Internet...

VillainRom looks the exact same as stock, yet runs faster. Simple as that!

You can add various tweaks if you wish, its all up to you.

Personally, i use APM-CRT-OS-jkays circle green battery, i also use Ki4's browser as i dont like the blue OS when browsing.

this rom comes pre-rooted and runs great.

If you like stock, but want it running quicker, VillainRom is the rom for you.

That is correct, all of the information is there. Installation guide, faq, xda threads. It couldn't be easier to get villainrom running, all people need to do is access this information.

Android Market Wifi Issues

Hi,

I am on Villain ROM 2.3.4 and I have been observing issues with Android Market when used over a secured Wifi connection. It was working fine before but now whenever I try to download/update any application on Market over Wifi, the download gets stalled in between and throws me an error.

Can someone please suggest something?
